“Oz the Great and Powerful” inspired pendant necklace.

I recently received a fun challenge: I was given a copy the new Blu-ray Combo Pack for Oz the Great and Powerful. I was asked to watch it, then to create something that was inspired by the adventures in the Land of Oz. Well, let me tell you that visually, this movie is stunning. There is so much color, such amazing costumes, fun special effects… but the thing that inspired me the most wasn’t visual… It was verbal.

Glinda, the good witch tells Oz the Wizard that he is “more capable” than he knows. I think we’d all do well to remember this about ourselves, whether we are exploring in the Land of Oz or going about our day to day life in our own home town. So I made an easy Oz the great and Powerful necklace to help promote that message.

This was very easy to do. Here’s what you’ll need:

a pendant form (you can get in any craft store)

Mod Podge Dimensional Magic

printed paper with your favorite quotation

a length of chain.

a jump ring

a piece of fused glass or beads in your choice of color

needle nose pliers

a strong adhesive like E600 (or similar)

Print out your quotation on a piece of paper. I chose the “courier” font, so I wanted plain white paper to create a stark contrast. (The quotation itself is pretty cut and dry, right?) Cut the paper to fit your pendant form. Make sure it fits properly, then put a dab of glue to make sure your quotation stays in place.

Now add the Dimensional Magic over the top. Follow the directions on the bottle carefully, making sure you fill the pendant form slowly and evenly. If there are any bubbles, pop them with a pin, then leave the pendent on a flat surface while the Dimensional Magic hardens. (I left mine overnight and then most of the next day.)

For the green glass bead next to the quotation pendant, I made my own by using a special microwave kiln that lets you fuse small pieces of glass. I wanted to have some green to tie in with the Emerald City, so I broke up an empty wine bottle and fused a few bits of the broken glass together.

Don’t have a microwave kiln? They aren’t exactly a kitchen staple, I know… just choose a pretty bead or charm and add that instead. (I just really wanted to play around with this kiln.)

Next, take your fused glass or your beads and glue a ring to the back of the bead. Then add your jump ring.

Hang from a chain, place around your neck and live the quotation! (Or try to at any rate!)

Be sure to check out the movie. Amazing costumes, some of your favorite actors…

Darling Viv, I learned a lot from this post & the one after it! I didn't know about Dimensional Magic Mod Podge or the kiln! Thanks for the inspiration. I love your beautiful necklace. Are you coming to the Breathing Space conference?
